of nineveh a correspondent of a london paper furnish es the subjoined extracts from the letter of mr stewart erskine rolland who is now at nim roud with captain layard assisting him in his endeavors lo bring to light the hidden antiqua rian treasures of nineveh : the first two or three days at mossul i spent in examining the excavations at koynni jik where fresh slabs are being every day brought to light two new collossal bulls and and two collossal figures were discovered while i was there at the entrance of the city gates ; and lhe pavement at the gateway marked with ruts by chariot wheels was also uncovered i left my wife under mrs rassa.n's care and ac companied layard a day's journey to the vil lages of baarshekah and bamyaneh and to lhe mound of khorsabad we took greyhounds with us and had a day's hunting catching se ven antelopes after our return mr layard charlotte and i and our servants embarked on a raft and floated down the tigris in seven hours to this little village of nimroud close to the large mound which was the first excavated sending our baggage and horse by land we have since been residing in his house here ; it is in fact little more than a mud hut ; but he has put in glass windows a table and some sofas and made it comfortable as circumstan ces will admit " layard placed a party of workmen under my control and allowed me to dig where i please i am sinking wells in all directions and am not without hopes of discovering sub terranean chambers which i am convinced must exist in one place considerably below the level of any of the hitherto discovered monu ments a brick arch between two walls of brick has been dicovered it is a puzzle to us all â€” another great discovery is an immense stone wall of most solid masonry inside the brick py ramid the workmen are laboiingto force an entrance into it but their progress is necessa rily very slow not exceeding a foot or two in a day but the greatest discovery yet made since the earth was first turned remains to be told i will five it you in due order â€” you must recollect that i commenced my let ter on christmas day and am continuing it at intervals january 3 1850 on the 2_th of decern ber layard and i with our attendants and two or ihree arab sheikhs started to pay a visit to the tai on the other side of the ' zab we were the first europeans who had ever visited that country three hours galloping from nim roud brought us to the banks of the stream which is as rapid and broad as the tigris and neariy as deep but here being divided into four branches is fordable with some diffi culty we swam our horses across it gelling of course very wet in the operation our visit here has a threefold object â€” first to explore the mound of abou sheela which appears to contain a built city ; secondly lo make friends between two rival chiefs ofthe tai ; and third ly to promote a reconcilialion between them and their implacable enemies the jibours which will much facilitate layard s future operations " our first visit was to the camp of the haw ar who is considered by all the arabs even by ihose of the great african desert to be the highest born and noblest among them he is probably the man of most ancient descent in j the world reckoning his genealogy far above ! the time of abraham he is supported in his | pretensions to lhe chieftainship by lhe noblest j of the tribe while his rival feras is support ed hy the turks and the greater number ofthe i tai his brolher the handsomest man i have ever seen came out to meet us with one hun dred horsemen most of whom had come to our village to plunder the other day they gallop ed madly about the plain brandishing iheir long spears shouting their war-cry and escort ' ed us in great state to the camp of the sheikh where he stood to receive us i never saw so noble or dignified a figure he is eminently j handsome though advanced in years and suf fering from ill health in stature he is gigan tic six feet four or five at least and erect as a ! pine tree his tent was a spacious one a load for three camels with the women's tents on one side and lhat of the horses on the other all under the same covering mats and cush i ions were spread on the floor of tbe tent on which the hawar layard and i sal as did his brother his uncle and others of the magnates : ofthe tribe while the rest stood in a semicir ' cle at the door a noble hunting hawk stood on his perch in the centre we partook of ! spiced coffee discussed lhe business on which \ we came and dined in the tent on a capital stew of mutton pumpkins rice and sour milk after we had partaken the rest of the tribe made their repast a certain number sitting down together each man rising when he was satisfied and a sort of master of the ceremo monies calling out the name of the man who was to succeed him there was no bustle or indecorum after dinner they all said their prayers we had sent on our tents which by ithe way got very wet crossing the river and we pitched ihem close to that ofthe sheikh â€” the next day the encampment changed its quarters i have seldom seen a more pictur esque sight the sheikh's tent was struck first aiutlhe procession of laden camels horse men donkeys and cattle stretched as far as the eye could reach i calculated that there were about two thousand persons with their camels horses and caille we paid our visit to feras the rival sheikh taking wiih us lhe brother of lhe hawar we were well received though not with the same dignified courtesy " while we were away the workmen had opened a trench by layard's direction to show my wife a certain slab which he had buried ; in doing so ihey uncovered three copper cal drens of immense size and some huge dishes of metal layard carefully removed the earth from one caldron which was partially filled with it and discovered an immense variety ot ivory oraments an iron exe-head and innumer able other articles which for lhe present i must forbear to mention having promised se crecy layard removed as many as he could and covered ihe rest wiih earth it is by far the most important discovery that has yet been made he has placed them under my charge and given me lhe direction oflhe workmen as he is obliged to go to mossul to make prepara tions for the removal of lhe two finest colossal lions that have yet been discovered which will i trust be on their way to england in a month or two alter lhat we shall cross lhe zab with our tents encamp there and pass our time alternately in hunting and digging in he mound you can have no idea of the difficulties layard has to contend with or the energy tal ent perseverance and shrewdness with which he surmounts them or the exquisite tact and good humor wiih which he manages the differ ent people he has to deal with in the first place he has nothing but conjecture lo guide him in his researches ; it is literally groping in the dark and all sorts of buried treasures may lie within his reach while from the very small amount of funds placed at his disposal he is unable to make any thing like a proper search and contents himself wiih sinking trench es almost at hazard as it were jan 6 â€” yesterday we removed more than thirty metal vases bowls and saucers most beautifully embosedand engraved some shields and swords of which the handles remain alone the iron blades being decomposed and a small marble vase the cups and bowls and other ornaments are of some unknown alloy of met als but they are all so encrusted with decom posed and crystallized copper and so fragile that they cannot be handled without great dan ger and mr layard is sending them home in the state in which he found them without at tempting to remove the rust " i spent eight hours yesterday scratching ihem out of the clay with my hands as the operation was too delicate to allow even a knife to be used my wife was employed the whole night in packing them we may now con graiulate the british nation is being possessed of an entirely unique collection the value of which is inestimable the ornaments and sculptures on the vases denote a very advanced stage of civilization not the least curious of lhe discoveries are several hundred mother-o pearl studs in form exactly resembling our shirt buttons the london times of a later date than the number which contained the above letter says : " very late and highly satisfactory accounts have within these few days been received from mr layard in assyria giving intelligence of new and important discoveries in lhe nimroud mound he has made fresh and exten-ive ex cavations in parts of lhe eminence not yet ex plored and the result has been the finding of nothing less than the ihrone upon which the monarch reigning about three thousand years ago sat in his splendid palace it is composed of metal and ivory the metal being richly wrought and the ivory beautifully carved it does not appear in what part ol the edifice this discovery has been made but it seems that the throne was separaled from the state apartments by means ofa large curtain the rings by which it was drawn and undrawn having been pre served at the dale of these advices the be

may err in judging of matters pertaining to their own profession we recur to a case on the criminal records of ireland in the year 1800 an eminent physician of dublin who had his residence in the country but ren ted rooms in the city to which he came daily at ten o'clock came one morning at the usual hour and was obliged to rap three times the last time very loud before the door was opened it was at length o pened by a young man but not before the physician had attracted by his knocking the attention of a lady living on the oppo site side of the street the young man who opened the door passed out suddenly which caused the physician to step into the kitchen to see if anything was the matter when he found the servant girl in the agonies of death the jugular vein of her neck was pierced with a kniting needle with which she had been at work the physician took her in his arms and carried her to his room in order to restore her if possible in carrying her his clothes became spotted with blood finding he could do nothing for her he changed his clothes and went out to attend an urgent patient the lady who had observed him knocking at the door noticed his hasty departure from the house and having both curiosity and sus picion aroused caused the house to be entered and the physician's room opened when the dead body was discovered the physician was arrested tried condemned and executed the strongest evidence against him was that of a surgeon of em inence who testified that no one but a surgeon could have inflicted the wound in so precise and scientific a manner when called for his defence the physi cian said were he on the jury he should decide such a case as his guilty but de clared before god and the world that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him twenty years after his execution a man on his death-bed confessed that the phys ician was innocent he said that he was a lover ofthe girl and was in the habit of visiting her mornings ; that on the mor ning of her death she bade him go away as the doctor's hour was near and he told her he would go after she gave him a kiss in attempting to kiss her she playfully raised her hand to push him when the needle which she held perforated the vein of her neck hearing the physician's knock at the door he hastened to let him in and escaped himself and hearing of the physician's arrest feared to come for ward and explain least he should be tried thus a judicial murder was done upon the evidence of a professional man who was altogether mistaken â€” n y globe manufacture of brogans we were surprised to observe a slatement in the n york courier that even in that city where manufactures of all sorts are so exten sively carried on they have been dependent for their supplies of coarse brogans upon the same sources as ourselves massachusetts has de luged the south with this article in fact enjoy ing the entire monopoly of the trade in the city of new york too she has been till now without competition no wonder they are able to give employment to sixty thousand people and receive for the products of iheir labor the round sum of twenty millions of dollars per an num ! we perceive from lhe courier that n york has resolved to strike for independence of this branch of new england manufactures a joint 1 stock company has been formed in lhat city to i introduce the manufacture of

judgment just such a work as he propo ses would be of great value in explaining and developing the condition and resources of our state â€” matters towards which popular inquiry is beginning to be earnestly and seriously di rected from all quarters mr wiley has let ters from gentlemen occupying the highest po litical literary and social positions in lhe state expressing their sense of the importance of the proposed work and entire confidence in his ability to accomplish it in a manner creditable to himself and to the stale mr w has al ready achieved a literary character which we know he is desirous of employing to lhe advan tage of his native state ; and encouragement of the kind he asks at this juncture would be most grateful and cheering to him besides be ing a contribution pro bono publico â€” greens boro patriot to the public the undersigned is endeavoring to collect materials for a gazetteer cf north caro lina ; a work whose object will be to present to the public an accurate historical geographi cal and statiscal account of the state he is impressed with the belief that such a work if properly executed will serve a useful purpose ; that it will furnish the best relutalion ofthe ca lumnies heaped on the commonwealth â€” will have some effect in correcting those sectional j prejudices which from the beginning have ex ercised a baneful influence in the councils of the slate â€” that while it strengthens lhe attach ment of the patriotic to iheir home it may help to slay that tide of emigration on account of which north carolina has been heretofore but a nursery for other states nature has denied lo this region those navi gable waters which bind together the extremes of other states and tempt the inhabitants to great enterprises ; but as if to make up for this neglect she has bountifully supplied it with ev ery kind of agricultural and mineral produc tion and all varieties of pleasant and beautiful climate and of grand and beautiful scenery â€” these things however cannot be here known j by the intermingling of the population on the cheap high-ways of commerce ; brooks must therefore supply the place of rivers and schol ars authors and school-masters act as explor ers the undersigned believes that others will i concur in these views ; and is permitted to hope that the public will contribute its part to wards the success of tho enterprise in which he is engaged the work of a man's own hands is dearer j to him than a gift which is the handiwork of another ; and those who help to make a great stale experience a satisfaction to which emi grants are ever strangers besides the ex penses and lhe sacrifices caused by the emi gration from north carolina forthe last twenty years would if judiciously invested in public works have made lhe state a garden and have i brought a market lo every county ; thus these j self exiled children of our commonwealth would have made a better state than those to which . they have gone â€” would have been enabled to live in ease among the scenes of their child hood â€” to have encountered the infirmities of age among their own people and mingled their , dust with that of their kindred in their father land such are some of the considerations which ! have prevented the undersigned irom seeking his fortune in other states ; and such consid erations he hopes are beginning to weigh on â€¢ the public mind he therefore respectfully invites special at | tention to the notice of the work on which he 1 is engaged ; and requests that those who can will communicate such information as may as sist him in his undertaking historical noli i ces of counties and towns â€” accounts of pecu , liarities of climate and soil of water-powers mining operations and remarkable yields in farming â€” and statistics of the wealth produc tions and exports of different places will be , gratefully received he would also be glad to get descriptions of the harbours sand-bars and inlets along the coast â€” and would be much gratified with views and sketches of scenery in this region in tbe mountains or in any other interesting localities he desires lhat all com munications be signed with a real name ; and as his correspondence is very extensive and onerous that his friends will be considerate in regard to postage he would earnestly remind those to whom he has sent circular letters of the importance of letting him hear from them in some way so lhat he may not be deceived : and finally asks of that most obliging and public-spirited of all classes the editors in north carolina to give this notice an insertion in iheir papers â€” hi hopes that event editor in lhe state will be kind enough to comply with this request ; tor every paper has readers who do not take any other paper who are able to furnish some ot the information desired tbe writer's address is | greensboro n c i april 1850 c h wiley appreciation of honesty â€” the new orleans picayune relates how a gentle man of

men cannot lail lo discover will be to hasten the dissolution of the union but we do confess that we have watched with fear and anxiety the people of the states as ihey have taken action upon this momentous question but now our fears have evaporated and our anxieties cease lo exist this call for a convention so unholy in its purposes and so uniimelv in ils period of assembling has serv ed bul to exhibit the lofty patriotism of the pe pie and the utier folly of ihe attempt of ultraists to dissever this republic consolidated by tha efforts of lhal immortal band who struggled with the mightiness of the briiish nation and bore from the contest the waving banners of triumph disunion will never lose ils harsh sound â€” patriotism shudders as it falls upon ils ear â€” and the descendants of a band of illustri ous men whose names are conspicuously en graven upon the records of history as a band of unterrified and devoted patriots will never can never cease to venerate their memories and lo make unremitting efforts lo hand down their achievements to tho most remote generation the people of this confede.acy will preserve lhe union oflhe slales as the highest protection to " lhe rights of the slates they do not desire disunion â€” they ask not for a change of constitution this they evince by their repudiation of that convenion favored by ultra southerners and imprudent slavehold ers the people a great majority of the peo ple have repudiated the nashville convention they have frowned upon the effort and have refused lo countenance the assembling of such a body by withholding from it the members which ihey have been asked to furnish does southern demagogues want a higher rebuke does southern fanaticism need more to cool its ardor and restore its reason ? the nashville convention has been impru dently called the advocacy of such a meas ure is tinctured with uliraism and we fear that the assembling ofa body of ihis character will be as far from promoting the interest of the south as we know it will be detrimental lo the prosperily of the union we conceive that the friends ofthe measure have proceeded upon conclusion which lire incorrect and based upon error if we understand its object cor rectly ihey are to effect lhe equilibrium of southern power and lo prevent northern in fringement upon southern rights how can a southern convention effect this result will it dare to usurp the power of lhe general go vernment and to act as the legislative body of lhe south ? reason has not been so complete iv lost in ultraism as to recommend this step what then can it do it surely wiil not re sist the action of congress for this would be rebellion but it will remonstrate with the north and must the south remonstrate ? if the rights of the south have been infringed if the privileges of the south as guaraniied by the constitution have not been respected by the north should not remonsliaie she has a legal and intelligent tribunal lo which she can and should carry her appeal the con gress of the united stales has not yet by its action infringed upon the guarantied rights of the south and being permitted lo judge her future course hy the present indication the ef forts of lhat body will be directed to the main tenance of ihe constitution it being sustain ed the south is prolecied but it is urged that the convention should assemble to demon strate lo the north that lhe south will respect and maintain her rights though at the sacri lice of lhe union now wiih all respect to ihose who urge this reason we must be per mitted to say that it is an imputation upon the south â€” we do not indeed say that it is intend ed as such but we do say lhat such is its ten dency now suppose that it is necessary for the south to demonstrate lo the north th..t she will resist encroachments this necessi ty for the demonstration argues but linle for her past course if in her past course she had been firm and devoted to her rights and had clun lo ihem with unflinching aliachment then the north would need no demonstration but wheiher ihis reasoning be an imputation upon the south or not it is beyond doubt true that we need not a nashville convention to demonstrate to the north our devoledneas to the rights of the south as guarantied in the constitution if ihere be a necessity for this demonstration it can be made â€” and made without the aid of a convention there is not now and never will be an occasion upon which lhe south will need a demonstration composed merely of words the course ofthe south the position of the south upon the ques tions now being agitated between her and her si.ter states is deinonst.aiion enough the north asks no greater demonstration â€” she will respect only such a demonstration the south has resolved until northern members of con gress tell us wiih sneers lhat ihey know lhe value of southern resolutions we ha*e made wordv demonstrations ; now let the south de monstrate wiih acts and does the north want more than ihis ? surely when a vigorous and manly opposition made by a course ot ac tion proves futile words can add no weight yet after all the nashville convention will be held but held with no benefit the action () | congre-s will in all probability forestall all necessity for action by lhal body and we will be presented wiih lhe novel sight ol men as sembled to rernon.iraie against

a correspondent of a london paper furnish es the subjoined extracts from the letter of mr stewart erskine rolland who is now at nim roud with captain layard assisting him in his endeavors lo bring to light the hidden antiqua rian treasures of nineveh : the first two or three days at mossul i spent in examining the excavations at koynni jik where fresh slabs are being every day brought to light two new collossal bulls and and two collossal figures were discovered while i was there at the entrance of the city gates ; and lhe pavement at the gateway marked with ruts by chariot wheels was also uncovered i left my wife under mrs rassa.n's care and ac companied layard a day's journey to the vil lages of baarshekah and bamyaneh and to lhe mound of khorsabad we took greyhounds with us and had a day's hunting catching se ven antelopes after our return mr layard charlotte and i and our servants embarked on a raft and floated down the tigris in seven hours to this little village of nimroud close to the large mound which was the first excavated sending our baggage and horse by land we have since been residing in his house here ; it is in fact little more than a mud hut ; but he has put in glass windows a table and some sofas and made it comfortable as circumstan ces will admit " layard placed a party of workmen under my control and allowed me to dig where i please i am sinking wells in all directions and am not without hopes of discovering sub terranean chambers which i am convinced must exist in one place considerably below the level of any of the hitherto discovered monu ments a brick arch between two walls of brick has been dicovered it is a puzzle to us all â€” another great discovery is an immense stone wall of most solid masonry inside the brick py ramid the workmen are laboiingto force an entrance into it but their progress is necessa rily very slow not exceeding a foot or two in a day but the greatest discovery yet made since the earth was first turned remains to be told i will five it you in due order â€” you must recollect that i commenced my let ter on christmas day and am continuing it at intervals january 3 1850 on the 2_th of decern ber layard and i with our attendants and two or ihree arab sheikhs started to pay a visit to the tai on the other side of the ' zab we were the first europeans who had ever visited that country three hours galloping from nim roud brought us to the banks of the stream which is as rapid and broad as the tigris and neariy as deep but here being divided into four branches is fordable with some diffi culty we swam our horses across it gelling of course very wet in the operation our visit here has a threefold object â€” first to explore the mound of abou sheela which appears to contain a built city ; secondly lo make friends between two rival chiefs ofthe tai ; and third ly to promote a reconcilialion between them and their implacable enemies the jibours which will much facilitate layard s future operations " our first visit was to the camp of the haw ar who is considered by all the arabs even by ihose of the great african desert to be the highest born and noblest among them he is probably the man of most ancient descent in j the world reckoning his genealogy far above ! the time of abraham he is supported in his | pretensions to lhe chieftainship by lhe noblest j of the tribe while his rival feras is support ed hy the turks and the greater number ofthe i tai his brolher the handsomest man i have ever seen came out to meet us with one hun dred horsemen most of whom had come to our village to plunder the other day they gallop ed madly about the plain brandishing iheir long spears shouting their war-cry and escort ' ed us in great state to the camp of the sheikh where he stood to receive us i never saw so noble or dignified a figure he is eminently j handsome though advanced in years and suf fering from ill health in stature he is gigan tic six feet four or five at least and erect as a ! pine tree his tent was a spacious one a load for three camels with the women's tents on one side and lhat of the horses on the other all under the same covering mats and cush i ions were spread on the floor of tbe tent on which the hawar layard and i sal as did his brother his uncle and others of the magnates : ofthe tribe while the rest stood in a semicir ' cle at the door a noble hunting hawk stood on his perch in the centre we partook of ! spiced coffee discussed lhe business on which \ we came and dined in the tent on a capital stew of mutton pumpkins rice and sour milk after we had partaken the rest of the tribe made their repast a certain number sitting down together each man rising when he was satisfied and a sort of master of the ceremo monies calling out the name of the man who was to succeed him there was no bustle or indecorum after dinner they all said their prayers we had sent on our tents which by ithe way got very wet crossing the river and we pitched ihem close to that ofthe sheikh â€” the next day the encampment changed its quarters i have seldom seen a more pictur esque sight the sheikh's tent was struck first aiutlhe procession of laden camels horse men donkeys and cattle stretched as far as the eye could reach i calculated that there were about two thousand persons with their camels horses and caille we paid our visit to feras the rival sheikh taking wiih us lhe brother of lhe hawar we were well received though not with the same dignified courtesy " while we were away the workmen had opened a trench by layard's direction to show my wife a certain slab which he had buried ; in doing so ihey uncovered three copper cal drens of immense size and some huge dishes of metal layard carefully removed the earth from one caldron which was partially filled with it and discovered an immense variety ot ivory oraments an iron exe-head and innumer able other articles which for lhe present i must forbear to mention having promised se crecy layard removed as many as he could and covered ihe rest wiih earth it is by far the most important discovery that has yet been made he has placed them under my charge and given me lhe direction oflhe workmen as he is obliged to go to mossul to make prepara tions for the removal of lhe two finest colossal lions that have yet been discovered which will i trust be on their way to england in a month or two alter lhat we shall cross lhe zab with our tents encamp there and pass our time alternately in hunting and digging in he mound you can have no idea of the difficulties layard has to contend with or the energy tal ent perseverance and shrewdness with which he surmounts them or the exquisite tact and good humor wiih which he manages the differ ent people he has to deal with in the first place he has nothing but conjecture lo guide him in his researches ; it is literally groping in the dark and all sorts of buried treasures may lie within his reach while from the very small amount of funds placed at his disposal he is unable to make any thing like a proper search and contents himself wiih sinking trench es almost at hazard as it were jan 6 â€” yesterday we removed more than thirty metal vases bowls and saucers most beautifully embosedand engraved some shields and swords of which the handles remain alone the iron blades being decomposed and a small marble vase the cups and bowls and other ornaments are of some unknown alloy of met als but they are all so encrusted with decom posed and crystallized copper and so fragile that they cannot be handled without great dan ger and mr layard is sending them home in the state in which he found them without at tempting to remove the rust " i spent eight hours yesterday scratching ihem out of the clay with my hands as the operation was too delicate to allow even a knife to be used my wife was employed the whole night in packing them we may now con graiulate the british nation is being possessed of an entirely unique collection the value of which is inestimable the ornaments and sculptures on the vases denote a very advanced stage of civilization not the least curious of lhe discoveries are several hundred mother-o pearl studs in form exactly resembling our shirt buttons the london times of a later date than the number which contained the above letter says : " very late and highly satisfactory accounts have within these few days been received from mr layard in assyria giving intelligence of new and important discoveries in lhe nimroud mound he has made fresh and exten-ive ex cavations in parts of lhe eminence not yet ex plored and the result has been the finding of nothing less than the ihrone upon which the monarch reigning about three thousand years ago sat in his splendid palace it is composed of metal and ivory the metal being richly wrought and the ivory beautifully carved it does not appear in what part ol the edifice this discovery has been made but it seems that the throne was separaled from the state apartments by means ofa large curtain the rings by which it was drawn and undrawn having been pre served at the dale of these advices the be ginning of last month mr layard was pur suing his researches with renewed ardor in consequence ofthe astonishing success that has hitherto attended his exertions no human re mains have come to light and every thing in dicates the destruction of the

their own profession we recur to a case on the criminal records of ireland in the year 1800 an eminent physician of dublin who had his residence in the country but ren ted rooms in the city to which he came daily at ten o'clock came one morning at the usual hour and was obliged to rap three times the last time very loud before the door was opened it was at length o pened by a young man but not before the physician had attracted by his knocking the attention of a lady living on the oppo site side of the street the young man who opened the door passed out suddenly which caused the physician to step into the kitchen to see if anything was the matter when he found the servant girl in the agonies of death the jugular vein of her neck was pierced with a kniting needle with which she had been at work the physician took her in his arms and carried her to his room in order to restore her if possible in carrying her his clothes became spotted with blood finding he could do nothing for her he changed his clothes and went out to attend an urgent patient the lady who had observed him knocking at the door noticed his hasty departure from the house and having both curiosity and sus picion aroused caused the house to be entered and the physician's room opened when the dead body was discovered the physician was arrested tried condemned and executed the strongest evidence against him was that of a surgeon of em inence who testified that no one but a surgeon could have inflicted the wound in so precise and scientific a manner when called for his defence the physi cian said were he on the jury he should decide such a case as his guilty but de clared before god and the world that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him twenty years after his execution a man on his death-bed confessed that the phys ician was innocent he said that he was a lover ofthe girl and was in the habit of visiting her mornings ; that on the mor ning of her death she bade him go away as the doctor's hour was near and he told her he would go after she gave him a kiss in attempting to kiss her she playfully raised her hand to push him when the needle which she held perforated the vein of her neck hearing the physician's knock at the door he hastened to let him in and escaped himself and hearing of the physician's arrest feared to come for ward and explain least he should be tried thus a judicial murder was done upon the evidence of a professional man who was altogether mistaken â€” n y globe manufacture of brogans we were surprised to observe a slatement in the n york courier that even in that city where manufactures of all sorts are so exten sively carried on they have been dependent for their supplies of coarse brogans upon the same sources as ourselves massachusetts has de luged the south with this article in fact enjoy ing the entire monopoly of the trade in the city of new york too she has been till now without competition no wonder they are able to give employment to sixty thousand people and receive for the products of iheir labor the round sum of twenty millions of dollars per an num ! we perceive from lhe courier that n york has resolved to strike for independence of this branch of new england manufactures a joint 1 stock company has been formed in lhat city to i introduce the manufacture of brogans and sim i ilar articles and the hope is expressed that it i may be the means of employment to youths of ii both sexes who are now leading a life but little i removed from vagrancy in that city it is al i so to be hoped the effort will succeed indeed

ing circular lo lhe public of north carolina by c h wiley esq asking assistance in > collecting materials for a gazetteer of the state in our judgment just such a work as he propo ses would be of great value in explaining and developing the condition and resources of our state â€” matters towards which popular inquiry is beginning to be earnestly and seriously di rected from all quarters mr wiley has let ters from gentlemen occupying the highest po litical literary and social positions in lhe state expressing their sense of the importance of the proposed work and entire confidence in his ability to accomplish it in a manner creditable to himself and to the stale mr w has al ready achieved a literary character which we know he is desirous of employing to lhe advan tage of his native state ; and encouragement of the kind he asks at this juncture would be most grateful and cheering to him besides be ing a contribution pro bono publico â€” greens boro patriot to the public the undersigned is endeavoring to collect materials for a gazetteer cf north caro lina ; a work whose object will be to present to the public an accurate historical geographi cal and statiscal account of the state he is impressed with the belief that such a work if properly executed will serve a useful purpose ; that it will furnish the best relutalion ofthe ca lumnies heaped on the commonwealth â€” will have some effect in correcting those sectional j prejudices which from the beginning have ex ercised a baneful influence in the councils of the slate â€” that while it strengthens lhe attach ment of the patriotic to iheir home it may help to slay that tide of emigration on account of which north carolina has been heretofore but a nursery for other states nature has denied lo this region those navi gable waters which bind together the extremes of other states and tempt the inhabitants to great enterprises ; but as if to make up for this neglect she has bountifully supplied it with ev ery kind of agricultural and mineral produc tion and all varieties of pleasant and beautiful climate and of grand and beautiful scenery â€” these things however cannot be here known j by the intermingling of the population on the cheap high-ways of commerce ; brooks must therefore supply the place of rivers and schol ars authors and school-masters act as explor ers the undersigned believes that others will i concur in these views ; and is permitted to hope that the public will contribute its part to wards the success of tho enterprise in which he is engaged the work of a man's own hands is dearer j to him than a gift which is the handiwork of another ; and those who help to make a great stale experience a satisfaction to which emi grants are ever strangers besides the ex penses and lhe sacrifices caused by the emi gration from north carolina forthe last twenty years would if judiciously invested in public works have made lhe state a garden and have i brought a market lo every county ; thus these j self exiled children of our commonwealth would have made a better state than those to which . they have gone â€” would have been enabled to live in ease among the scenes of their child hood â€” to have encountered the infirmities of age among their own people and mingled their , dust with that of their kindred in their father land such are some of the considerations which ! have prevented the undersigned irom seeking his fortune in other states ; and such consid erations he hopes are beginning to weigh on â€¢ the public mind he therefore respectfully invites special at | tention to the notice of the work on which he 1 is engaged ; and requests that those who can will communicate such information as may as sist him in his undertaking historical noli i ces of counties and towns â€” accounts of pecu , liarities of climate and soil of water-powers mining operations and remarkable yields in farming â€” and statistics of the wealth produc tions and exports of different places will be , gratefully received he would also be glad to get descriptions of the harbours sand-bars and inlets along the coast â€” and would be much gratified with views and sketches of scenery in this region in tbe mountains or in any other interesting localities he desires lhat all com munications be signed with a real name ; and as his correspondence is very extensive and onerous that his friends will be considerate in regard to postage he would earnestly remind those to whom he has sent circular letters of the importance of letting him hear from them in some way so lhat he may not be deceived : and finally asks of that most obliging and public-spirited of all classes the editors in north carolina to give this notice an insertion in iheir papers â€” hi hopes that event editor in lhe state will be kind enough to comply with this request ; tor every paper has readers who do not take any other paper who are able to furnish some ot the information desired tbe writer's address is

when 178 students graduated nashville convention in despite of lhe efforts lo prevent lhe dis covery of motives it needs no long search to discover a disposition upon tbe part of some portions of the southern people to keep alive the prevalent excitement upon the slavery ques tion and it is equally evident that this ex citement is fed hy this class of agitators lhat may ultimately effect a dissolution ofthe union we have not therefore been astonished at the call ofa convention lhe direct effect of which intelligent men cannot lail lo discover will be to hasten the dissolution of the union but we do confess that we have watched with fear and anxiety the people of the states as ihey have taken action upon this momentous question but now our fears have evaporated and our anxieties cease lo exist this call for a convention so unholy in its purposes and so uniimelv in ils period of assembling has serv ed bul to exhibit the lofty patriotism of the pe pie and the utier folly of ihe attempt of ultraists to dissever this republic consolidated by tha efforts of lhal immortal band who struggled with the mightiness of the briiish nation and bore from the contest the waving banners of triumph disunion will never lose ils harsh sound â€” patriotism shudders as it falls upon ils ear â€” and the descendants of a band of illustri ous men whose names are conspicuously en graven upon the records of history as a band of unterrified and devoted patriots will never can never cease to venerate their memories and lo make unremitting efforts lo hand down their achievements to tho most remote generation the people of this confede.acy will preserve lhe union oflhe slales as the highest protection to " lhe rights of the slates they do not desire disunion â€” they ask not for a change of constitution this they evince by their repudiation of that convenion favored by ultra southerners and imprudent slavehold ers the people a great majority of the peo ple have repudiated the nashville convention they have frowned upon the effort and have refused lo countenance the assembling of such a body by withholding from it the members which ihey have been asked to furnish does southern demagogues want a higher rebuke does southern fanaticism need more to cool its ardor and restore its reason ? the nashville convention has been impru dently called the advocacy of such a meas ure is tinctured with uliraism and we fear that the assembling ofa body of ihis character will be as far from promoting the interest of the south as we know it will be detrimental lo the prosperily of the union we conceive that the friends ofthe measure have proceeded upon conclusion which lire incorrect and based upon error if we understand its object cor rectly ihey are to effect lhe equilibrium of southern power and lo prevent northern in fringement upon southern rights how can a southern convention effect this result will it dare to usurp the power of lhe general go vernment and to act as the legislative body of lhe south ? reason has not been so complete iv lost in ultraism as to recommend this step what then can it do it surely wiil not re sist the action of congress for this would be rebellion but it will remonstrate with the north and must the south remonstrate ? if the rights of the south have been infringed if the privileges of the south as guaraniied by the constitution have not been respected by the north should not remonsliaie she has a legal and intelligent tribunal lo which she can and should carry her appeal the con gress of the united stales has not yet by its action infringed upon the guarantied rights of the south and being permitted lo judge her future course hy the present indication the ef forts of lhat body will be directed to the main tenance of ihe constitution it being sustain ed the south is prolecied but it is urged that the convention should assemble to demon strate lo the north that lhe south will respect and maintain her rights though at the sacri lice of lhe union now wiih all respect to ihose who urge this reason we must be per mitted to say that it is an imputation upon the south â€” we do not indeed say that it is intend ed as such but we do say lhat such is its ten dency now suppose that it is necessary for the south to demonstrate lo the north th..t she will resist encroachments this necessi ty for the demonstration argues but linle for her past course if in her past course she had been firm and devoted to her rights and had clun lo ihem with unflinching aliachment then the north would need no demonstration but wheiher ihis reasoning be an imputation upon the south or not it is beyond doubt true that we need not a nashville convention to demonstrate to the north our devoledneas to the rights of the south as guarantied in the constitution if ihere be a necessity for this demonstration it can be made â€” and made without the aid of a convention there is not now and never will be an occasion upon which lhe south will need a demonstration composed merely of words the course ofthe south the position of the south upon the ques tions now being agitated between her and her si.ter states is deinonst.aiion enough the north asks no greater demonstration â€” she will respect only such a demonstration the south has resolved until northern members of con gress tell us wiih sneers lhat ihey know lhe value of southern resolutions we ha*e made wordv demonstrations ; now let the south de monstrate wiih acts and does the north want more than ihis ? surely when a vigorous and manly opposition made by a course ot ac tion proves futile words can add no weight yet after all the nashville convention will be held but held with no benefit the action () | congre-s will in all probability forestall all necessity for action by lhal body and we will be presented wiih lhe novel sight ol men as sembled to rernon.iraie against grievancie which have been remedied virginian boldly avowed whatever may be said by some
